From the beginning, I wanted to make dance music with a human element to it.

I was scared of the Bible - it seemed whenever I read it I got bad luck. Then I befriended a couple of Jesus's disciples and I used to show them modern life - how to run the hot and cold taps and things like that. They seemed alright but it didn't change my feelings about the Bible jinx.

Even when I haven't had money, I found money to travel. It's a luxury that's a kind of necessity, I think.

I don't read music; I taught myself guitar.

I didn't jump a lot of trees because I didn't like heights. I liked getting a mirror and walking around with it facing the sky. I'd imagine I was walking in the tops of the trees and falling into the sky, or walking up the stairs whilst going down.

You can have all sorts of relationships, but there's something with musicians working together where you can have relationship that can just continue to grow in a beautiful way.

The husk could be some useless bloke or losing myself and changing my DNA with bottomless grief.
